Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I have read articles by people who are trying to make money by establishing training courses for directors. They want to make a few thousand euro a day telling people about the difficulties they are in, including in respect of health and safety regulations on food, but everybody is supposed to comply with these regulations. Although the Bill focuses on taxation and the finance issue, I find it extraordinary that directors suddenly feel under threat because they cannot tell whether their companies are complying with health and safety legislation. This raises a new issue that, if it becomes a problem, we may have to examine in a different context.
